Because of DoS concerns with the typically large number of subscribed
folders, IMAP connections are limited. I thought the limit was 4 per
server. If you have several accounts there are limitations over the total #
of servers and total # of connections.

I cannot get over how outlook cannot create concurrent connections to the
internet. It has to wait as one connection finishes or fails - and the
program just hangs impossibly in the process.

Any way to fix this?
